1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Clearance of low-level viremia that persists in most HIV-1-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is an important milestone for efforts to cure HIV-1 infection. The level of persistent viremia on ART is generally below the lower limit of quantification (LOQ) of current FDA-cleared plasma HIV-1 RNA assays (20 to 40 copies/ml) but can be quantified by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assays with single-copy sensitivity. Such assays require multistep manual methods, and their low throughput limits the capacity to monitor the effects of interventions on persistent viremia. Recently, S. Bakkour, X. Deng, P. Bacchetti, E. Grebe, et al. (J Clin Microbiol 58:e01400-20, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01400-20), reported the use of multiple replicates and Poisson statistics to infer HIV-1 RNA concentrations below the commercial LOQ of an automated platform (Hologic Panther Aptima). Here, we evaluate the detection and quantitation of low-level viremia using the following two adaptions of the automated platform: a multireplicate strategy (9×) and a concentrated single-replicate strategy in which 5 ml of plasma is concentrated by centrifugation (1×, concentrated). We compare these new methods to a recently reported manual
